# Zenflow Work

> Connect AI agents to the tools your team already uses. Boost productivity across Product, Sales, Marketing, Operations, Finance, HR, and Customer Success.

## What Zenflow Work Is

Zenflow has two modes: **Code** and **Work**. While Code mode is built for software engineering tasks inside your codebase, **Work mode** connects AI agents to the business tools your team already uses — helping every department move faster and get more done.

</div>

Whether you need to brainstorm a go-to-market strategy, research competitors, draft a proposal, or prepare a board deck — Work mode gives you an AI agent that understands your business context and has direct access to your tools.

With Work mode, you get:

* **On-demand tasks** — brainstorm, research, write, and analyze with a single prompt
* **Automations** — schedule recurring work so it happens on autopilot ([learn more](/zenflow-work/automations))
* **Structured Plans** — step-by-step execution with human checkpoints when you need them

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Switch to Work mode">
    In the Zenflow task creation screen, toggle from **Code** to **Work** at the top.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe what you want done">
    Write a natural language description of the task. Reference integrations, data sources, and expected outputs. You can use **@** to add files to your task context.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a workflow">
    Choose from the workflows below depending on the task type.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start or schedule">
    Run the task immediately with **Start**, save it as a draft for later, or attach a Task Flow schedule to make it recurring.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### When to Use What

| Workflow            | Best for                                              | Output                        |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| **Auto**            | Most tasks — agent picks the right approach           | Varies                        |
| **Brainstorm**      | Ideation, exploring options, quick thinking           | Ideas list, options matrix    |
| **Deep Brainstorm** | Complex problems needing multi-angle analysis         | Detailed exploration document |
| **Research**        | Competitive analysis, market research, data gathering | Research report with sources  |
| **Write**           | Emails, reports, blog posts, documentation            | Polished written content      |

<Tip>
  Start with **Auto** for most tasks. The agent will determine whether to brainstorm, research, or write based on your prompt.
